+ The /dev/mem file by default only allows userspace access to PCI

This option will slow down process creation somewhat.

This results in a large slowdown, but helps to find certain types

If you say Y here the kernel will use a 4Kb stacksize for the
kernel stack attached to each process/thread. This facilitates
